Spelling is rubbish in your opinion, eh? ?Just as well you don’t want to join the ATC because what a role-model you would be…
Just so you know, I was a course-qualified NCO in a previous life and could spell long before I commissioned into the VR(T). I also learned to walk upright at an early age. Because spelling and grammar is such an issue for you, is it why you speak in short sentences because you can’t trust yourself to speak or write anything longer than half-a-dozen words?
Go look up the word ‘pretentious’ and find out what you - voluntarily - addressed yourself as.[/quote]
Whoa. Chillout fella.
It was light hearted ribbing. Much like the old “Most Dangerous thing on the battlefeild? An Officer with a map…”
Cheers for the CV though. :worthy:
Its attitudes like “wear it to wind people up” that give all Cadet organisations a bad name. Just accept you cant wear it and move on.
And it’s attitudes like yours that give the regulars a bad name, but that’s kind of my point! If you think I’d really get people to wear it to wind you up, you are a misguided individual indeed.
I find wearing mine around the mess gets me what I need from people. They can see I’m a chap who’s busy, needs instant support and little back-chat. I was so happy when the man from stores gave me a second one.

It’s a bit odd, but it doesn’t appear to be against regs. I shan’t be rushing out and buying one.

it may not appear in dress regs, however the dress regs are what you can wear, not what you cannot - UBACS by its very name Under Body Armour Combat Shirt should be enough for anyone to know not to wear it - in the RAF it is only worn of Operational Duties[/quote]
Where was this UBACS seen? If it was on exercise, in the field then I don’t care. If it was on unit, or in barrack dress. Then Why?
If you enforce the dress regs THAT literally, you can’t wear gaiters, norgies, snugpaks, jumpers, fleeces, or essentially anything which we all wear in the field. I’d say a UBACS falls into that category. It has a practical use in (extremely) limited circumstances. But my opposition or not would have to be entirely based on the context in which it was worn.[/quote]

I’ve just heard that RearAdmiralScrotum has been admitted to the Med Centre with a suspected cardiac arrest. Apparently he was completely fine until he came across a photo posted on an internet forum…
And talon, one cannot blame the Army for not having very good standards and bearing. They cant even wear MTP correctly and smartly. But maybe they are also trying to appeal more to the COD/facebook generation by making things look “ally”.
